This week we celebrate National Nurse Week, a tom dedicated in recognizing the contributions and sacrifices made of nurses across the country. Most likely all of us in one way or another have interacted with a nurse. Most of us have had personal experiences having a nurse treat us. From May 6th to May 12th, we honor the men and women who dedicate their lives to caring for others, often in the face of great adversity. A nurses week is special to me. It's a week where we get honored for all the hard work that we do. Of course the pandemic is winding down and a lot of us struggle through that just keeping our sanity. The pandemic has highlighted the importance of nursing and the critical role nurses play in our healthcare system. What's interesting about public health nursing is that the function of a public health nurse is slightly different than a clinic nurse. A public health nurse, we focus on a lot of populations instead of just the person themselves. We want to make sure that the population as a whole is vaccinated. We want to make sure that any kind of communicable diseases that people are getting treated for it. So that way they don't spread it to other people. And we also want to make sure even down to the food scares, making sure that people have food in which the week program comes into play there. Whereas a clinic nurse is really treating an individual. So if you're an individual and you go to your doctor or a hospital to be treated because you're sick, you are going to be treated as an individual. Whether you're working in a clinic, a public health clinic, a hospital, any places where nurses are employed, you should be really proud. It's a profession where it's highly valued and I'm really proud to be a nurse. We are grateful for the hard work and dedication of nurses in Pockville and across the country.
